What Does Remedial Massage Therapy Involve?

Remedial Massage uses a variety of therapeutic techniques tailored to address individual health concerns. This massage goes beyond relaxation, focusing on identifying and addressing areas of discomfort or dysfunction within the muscles and soft tissues. Whether it’s tension, an injury, or long-term pain you’re experiencing, Remedial Massage can support your recovery and enhance your overall wellness.

With our team-focused approach to your health, we may integrate one or more of these specific massage therapies into your treatment plan. Our objective is to offer personalised care that meets your unique needs, helping you achieve optimal health.

Massage Services We Offer

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy is a form of remedial massage in which direct pressure is applied to specific points within muscle tissue to reduce muscle tension and increase pain relief.

Each muscle has potential trigger points that may be activated by overuse, trauma, electrolyte imbalances, nerve pain, stress, or inflammation. These points can create pain within the affected muscle or send pain to other areas of the body.

Trigger Point Therapy (TPT) is internationally recognised as a valuable pain treatment that can be beneficial to a wide range of people.

Trigger Point Therapy can help with:

• Sports injuries
• Neck pain
• Shoulder pain
• Sciatica
• Headaches
• Muscular pain
• Knee pain
• Shin Splints
• Lower back pain

Myofascial Release Therapy

Myofascial Release is a therapy that focuses on the myofascial tissues, which are the strong membranes surrounding, connecting, and supporting your muscles and bones. These tissues are crucial for the structure and function of your musculoskeletal system.

During the session, the therapist locates areas where the tissues are tight or restricted, instead of being flexible and mobile. The therapist then applies slow, consistent pressure to these tense areas with the aim of releasing tension and restoring normal flexibility and strength to the tissues.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, making it a valuable approach for addressing chronic muscle tension, stiffness, and injury. Through slow, steady pressure, this method helps relieve tension in the muscles and tendons, encouraging improved mobility and easing pain. It’s frequently used to treat discomfort from overuse, injury, or stress, making it suitable for both athletes and everyday individuals.

Sports Massage

Sports Massage is intended for athletes and those who regularly put their bodies under high physical strain. The treatment focuses on areas prone to strain from repetitive or strenuous movements, often seen in sports and other physical activities. Every session is customised to fit the individual’s needs and the sport they participate in, with attention on releasing tension and stress in the key areas. Sports Massage can help with recovery, injury prevention, and managing existing stress-related issues.

Relaxation Massage

Relaxation Massage is a gentle treatment designed to release tension, enhance circulation, and promote overall relaxation. The pressure can be customised to your liking, whether you prefer a soft or more intense massage. This therapy is perfect for bringing calm to both your mind and body, offering a peaceful moment to unwind and focus on self-care.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy Massage is an excellent option for easing tension, reducing discomfort, boosting circulation, and getting the body ready for birth. We offer a special pregnancy pillow for our wonderful pregnant clients, or the massage can be done while you lie on your side or sit comfortably. Your safety and comfort are always our top priority! If you have concerns or questions about pregnancy massage, we are happy to chat with you—please feel free to call us to discuss this further.
